You’ve had your hearing assessed and are now wondering about your next steps?
Confused by what is on the internet, and how it is relevant to you?
Book this appointment to receive honest, accurate personalised and no-pressure advice covering a wide range of solutions and strategies to meet your listening goals.
If we are exploring a hearing aid trial, we use this appointment to determine which hearing aids are best for you based on wide ranging criteria, so that we can be confident that you are trialling the best option for your unique lifestyle circumstances.
Although there is now more information on hearing aids on the internet then ever before, it can be very difficult to work which sources are reliable and what would work best for your unique needs.
Hearing aids can be expensive and the cost of getting it wrong can be immense.
It is important to see your options in person to see how they sit and feel in your ears. We offer only global and unlocked hearing aids that are personalised for you.
For most people, hearing aids are not something that you can wear and immediately sounds perfect. Rather, we need to graduallly optimise the sound for your unique preferences, and help you to build up daily hearing aid use as essential factors to hearing aid successs.
You are essentially signing up for a relationship – between audiologist and you – over the next 5 years.
Your success with hearing rehabilitation is therefore critical to our succes too. We want you to do well, and it is part of our mission to not see any more hearing aids unsued.
At Hear With Me, our longer appointment will allow for enough time to determine a range of factors that will help us decide which hearing device may best assist you.
We use this appointment to better understand the listening situations and people you most want to hear or understand better.
We take into account all the key factors in your decision, holistically using information from you alongside scientific and technical data to ensure accurate recommendations are made for you.
What we want to know include:
Our recommendations may or may not include hearing aids – we try to keep an open mind about all possible solutions for you, including the decision to delay treatment. It is important to us that you are able to make an informed decision that is right for your circumstances.
We discuss our rehabilitation plan for the journey ahead, including costs, ongoing support and tineframes.
We are happy to answer your questions and try to provide you with supporting facts. We want to enhance your knowledge so that you are making your best decision.
When you do well, we all do well.
If you haven’t seen us before, please bring to your appointment any previous hearing results as well as any recent hearing devices that you already own.
Come with a partner or loved one if they are influential in your decision to seek options to hearing better. Communication involves more than one person – so we’d like to get a full picture of your lifestyle so we can help you best.
Please note that this appointment doesn’t normally allow for a hearing aid fitting due to time contraints, but we will try our best to set-up one for you if time allows!
If you have been referred by an ENT or other doctor, please bring your referral to your appointment. Medicare does not rebate these appointments.
We’d love to answer any of your questions. Please feel free to write them down and ask us anything hearing or hearing device related when you see us.
